Sisters High School Athletes participated in the OAS training at HooDoo December 20, 2009.
What is OAS?
OAS provides teaching for a variety of skiing disciplines including two track, three track, four track, mono-skiing, and bi-skiing. Our specialized and innovative equipment and techniques provide an opportunity for anyone with a disability to learn how to ski. Our adaptive skiing programs help our skiers build self-esteem and confidence, improve their fitness levels, make new friends, and have fun. The individuals taking advantage of our services have a range of disabilities including visual and hearing impairments, amputations, cerebral palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, spina bifida, developmental disabilities, paraplegia, quadriplegia, and many more. Individuals with a permanent or long-term physical or neurological disability who require use of adaptive ski equipment and/or adaptive teaching techniques are eligible for participation.
